This Cookie Policy (the "Policy", the "Cookie Policy") explains which technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

What are Cookies
Cookies are small data files which are placed on your device when you visit our website. They help us recognize your device, remember your preferences, and understand how our website is used, so that we can improve its performance and the Services we offer. We also use technologies that work in a comparable way, such as local storage in your browser and tracking pixels in e-mail. Where this Policy refers to cookies, those technologies are included.
Type of Cookies we use
There are two main types of cookies depending on who places them on the website:
- First-Party Cookies: These cookies are set directly by us and are typically used to remember your preferences and provide functionality specific to our website or Services, such as language preferences. Some services we use also set first-party cookies on our domain but send the data they contain to the provider; these are identified as such in the table below.
- Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by external services we use, such as analytics providers or payment processors, to help us understand how you use our site or to facilitate secure transactions.
We classify cookies into the following three categories based on their purpose:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and for services you have asked for, such as logging in to your account, submitting a form, and preventing fraudulent payments. They are placed without your consent, because the website cannot function without them.
- Functional Cookies: These cookies remember choices you make, such as your language preference and your cookie choice itself. They are placed without your consent, because they only do what you have asked us to do.
- Analytical Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are most visited and how long these pages take to load, so that we can improve our website and our Services. These cookies are only placed if you consent to them.
We do not use advertising or marketing cookies, and we do not allow third parties to use cookies on our website to build advertising profiles about you.

Cookie Consent
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to accept or refuse analytical cookies. If you make no choice at all, no analytical cookies are placed. Strictly necessary and functional cookies are always placed, because our website cannot work without them; these do not require your consent and are not covered by the banner.
You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings, although this may prevent parts of our website from working. Note that withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place beforehand. We record your choice so that we are able to demonstrate that it was made, and we will ask you again after 12 months.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics for the collection and analysis of visitor statistics, in order to understand how our website is used and to improve it. These cookies are only placed if you have consented to analytical cookies. Google may transfer this data to the United States, where Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. For more information, please refer to Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Google reCAPTCHA
We use Google reCAPTCHA on our forms, such as the quotation, contact and claim forms, in order to distinguish genuine visitors from automated abuse and to protect our Services against spam and fraudulent submissions. When a form is loaded, reCAPTCHA places a cookie and collects information about your device and your behaviour on the page, such as your IP address, browser and operating system, screen resolution, and mouse and keyboard activity. This information is sent to Google and may be transferred to the United States, where Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Because reCAPTCHA exists solely to secure the forms you use to contact us, we regard it as strictly necessary and it is loaded only on the pages containing those forms. For more information, please refer to Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
PostHog
We use PostHog for the collection and analysis of visitor statistics. This information is stored by PostHog within the EU, according to EU standards, and is used by Gullwing Insurance to understand the usage of the website and Services, with the intention of improving your experience with the Services. These cookies are only placed if you have consented to analytical cookies. For more information, please refer to PostHog's privacy policy at https://posthog.com/privacy.
Stripe
We use Stripe for the processing of payments. When you pay via Stripe, you are directed to Stripe's own hosted payment environment, where Stripe places its own cookies under its own cookie policy, including cookies used to detect and prevent payment fraud. These cookies are not placed on our website and are not covered by our cookie banner. For more information, please refer to Stripe's cookie policy at https://stripe.com/legal/cookies-policy and to Stripe's privacy policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.
Mollie
We use Mollie for the processing of payments. When you pay via Mollie, you are directed to Mollie's own payment environment, where Mollie places its own cookies under its own cookie statement. These cookies are not placed by us and are not covered by our cookie banner. For more information, please refer to Mollie's cookie statement at https://www.mollie.com/legal/cookies.
